Background

Sustainable Austria – a distinction with a scientific basis

Sustainable Austria is the result of many years of scientific research. Together with technical experts, the Austrian Winegrowers’ Association has developed a sophisticated certification system for measuring sustainable practices observed by domestic wine producers. Certified winegrowers have worked their way through a two-step process, in which they are also reviewed by an external auditor. The certification was initially launched in 2015, and many Austrian winegrowers have already been certified. For a full list, please refer to the Wineries section on this website.
